Eggs IN 4
Eggs OUT 5*
I've just been out to check on the chooks and Miss Clarissa has put herself to bed in the coop for the first time :T
* I'm home alone tonight so I had french toast for dinner and it looks like Mr MWC had a fried egg sandwich using 3 little eggs before he went out
I despair of the company I work for sometimes :mad: Better late than never there was a story entitled "Kudos to New Promotions!" on the intranet naming all the people who were promoted earlier this year... well everyone except me... :mad:

Just had quick catchup with my muesli ... shame about the lettuces, will you plant any more or call it a day for this season?
Good news for Miss Clarissa learning the bedtime routine, I think these darker earlier and quicker evenings are making a difference, mine definitely don't faff around as much as they did in the summer twilight.
How rude to miss you off the intranet list, although Greying is quite right with her perspective on that! Sounds like a miscommunication or failure to pass on the right info to the right person, which companies are pretty good at unfortunately!

What a pain about the company! Great about everything else, except the sycamores - are you meaning because they grow into sycamores at the drop of a hat, or do you have ponies and horses nearby? They're killers
an online friend of mine lost a 2 year old pony that way

there was a story entitled "Kudos to New Promotions!"
I can see why you would despair, kudos is a ridiculous word!
Congratulations on your financial achievements over the last couple of months MWC, and on your lovely Norway pics.0 -

I know, just being silly, reminds me of my favourite episode of 'Futurama' where a cryogenically frozen stereotypical 80s businessman wakes up in the future0
